Imagine if your rush hour commute was like this....

They're called Oshiya... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshiya - not sure where that video was taken because, although it's been doing the rounds on YouTube, etc... for years, things aren't normally that bad.
Have you guys also seen the swimming pool video too?

Apologies if this is a repost, the video is easily as old as the Oshiya video.

Haha, exactly what I was thinking. People push in exactly like that but at most its 3 people per set of doors squeezing in. It gets worse at bank because next to no one gets off and people try and get on.
They want to get on the train, that's why they want to get pushed in, obviously you wouldn't if you didnt want to
Reminds me of East Croydon aswell. Train is almost full when it comes in, then the entire platform tries to get on and the doors won't close 
Only thing you can do when in a train packed like that is hope that someone didn't have breakfast that causes bad wind

where does your train go? I go: Clapham Junction, East Croydon, ... etc Horsham. It's such a bloody nightmare...
I don't live down there any more (thank god!). I used to have to catch a Victoria bound service at 8:30am. Getting on to the platform was a nightmare then usually 3-5 trains later I was on my way
. Always got into trouble with my college for being late, till I took a picture of the chaos then my tutor shut up 
You can all laugh, but this is the future of British commuting when the government/greens make driving so expensive (to save our envorinment of course) the masses have to use public transport instead of cars. I don't think it's a question of 'if' but 'when'.
You can be sure that all our politicians will enjoy having the roads to themslves though.

lucky so and so... I commute daily on that route - and at rush hour...
I'm hoping working from home will become more popular.
